Chapter 1246

Hearing Yang Kai’s question, Yang Yan was stunned, and then covered her small mouth and laughed so hard that she was trembling, bending forward and backward.

“What are you laughing at?” Yang Kai was depressed.

Yang Yan kept waving her hand, but still couldn’t stop laughing, and even a few tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Yang Kai rolled his eyes and asked again, “So you are proficient in the art of maintaining beauty. In fact, you are not as young as you look on the surface, but an old woman who has lived for thousands of years？”

This time, Yang Yan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She stopped smiling immediately, glared at Yang Kai with her beautiful eyes, and gritted her silver teeth and said, “I can answer you. I’m definitely not an old woman who has lived for thousands of years！”

“That’s right…” Yang Kai nodded slightly. If Yang Yan had really lived for thousands of years, her experience couldn’t be so simple. Judging from all the things he had contacted with Yang Yan before, she didn’t seem to have lived for that long.

Yang Yan’s expression also became serious. She didn’t know what she was thinking, and a look of horror actually appeared on her face. It was a long time before she said, “You want to ask if I took over this body, right？”

“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded frankly. Only by being taken over could it explain why Yang Yan, who was not very old, was at the same time proficient in both the mysterious ways of weapon refining and array.

A person’s energy is limited. Although Yang Kai has a deep attainment in alchemy he also believes that he can’t have much more energy to study other things unless he gives up his path of cultivation.

And Yang Yan has a great attainment in both the way of weapon refining and the way of array. The secret treasures she refined and the array she set are far beyond the overall level of You’an Star in terms of delicacy and practicality. How did she do it?

There are no shortage of geniuses in this world, but even if Yang Yan is a genius, her age is here, and it is impossible to reach this height. So Yang Kai has this question.

“Have you suspected it for a long time？” Yang Yan looked at Yang Kai and asked.

“Since I learned that you are a master of formations, I have thought so. But don’t worry, whether you are possessed or not has nothing to do with me. The soul I know is the one in your body. As for the previous soul, I don’t care.” Yang Kai said lightly.

Yang Yan smiled bitterly, was silent for a while, and said softly： “Not only have you suspected it, but sometimes I can’t figure it out myself… But I don’t seem to be possessed, because my memories from childhood to the present are all intact in my mind, and there is no second person’s thoughts. If I were possessed, it would be impossible to be like this.”

“Then which master did you worship under, so you are proficient in forging and formations? Yang Kai’s face was shocked. He had no doubts about Yang Yan’s words.

Yang Yan slowly shook her head, bit her red lip lightly, and her two small hands were nervously stirring her black robe. There was a look of hesitation and struggle on her face. After a long while, she suddenly raised her head and said in a deep voice: “If I tell you that the reason why I know forging and formations is because I was born knowing them, would you believe it?”

“How is that possible？” Yang Kai had a shocked expression on his face.

Yang Yan let out a bitter laugh. “But that’s the truth. I really knew these things since birth. These things about the art of refining treasures and array seemed to be sealed in my mind. As I continuously refined secret treasures and set up array these sealed knowledge were slowly unsealed. Youdaoplaceholder0 me to understand more and more profound art of refining treasures and array. And sometimes, when I see some rare and unusual things that I’ve clearly never seen before, I can still recognize them and know their functions. Isn’t it strange?”

Yang Kai listened dumbfounded.

This was not just strange, it was simply unthinkable. No one was born to master the art of refining treasures and array for no reason. There must be some reason for it, and perhaps even Yang Yan herself couldn’t figure it out.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this reason that Yang Yan sometimes felt a sense of panic.

Yang Yan had no need to lie to herself, and she probably wouldn’t lie either.

Yang Kai couldn’t help with this matter. Although he had long known that Yang Yan was a bit strange, he never expected her to be this strange. He didn’t continue to push her on this issue. For Yang Kai, whether Yang Yan had been taken or was born knowing some fields that others would find difficult to master even in a lifetime he only recognized the current Yang Yan, and that was all.

After pondering for a while, Yang Kai asked, “So what secret treasures can you refine now？”

“Upper-grade Void-level should be no problem. As long as I have a large number of materials to practice with, sooner or later I can refine Void King-level secret treasures.” When it came to her own field, Yang Yan regained a lot of energy all of a sudden, her head raised slightly, with a proud look on her face.

“Alright then, help me refine this again.” Yang Kai took out the purple shield with an embarrassed expression on his face.

The shield that originally had flowing purple charm was now dull and had lost a lot of its spirituality.

As soon as Yang Yan saw it, a worried look appeared on her pretty face. She picked up the shield and gently stroked it, and said, “Did it encounter some kind of fire-attribute restriction？ It was actually reduced to this state by just one strike even though it’s a middle-grade Void-level defensive secret treasure.”

“Well, but at least it’s all’s well that ends well’.” Yang Kai grinned.

“I understand. With the materials you gave, it should be no problem to refine it into an upper-grade Void-level secret treasure.” A brilliant light flashed on the spatial ring on Yang Yan’s hand, and the purple shield was taken in by her. She brushed the hair by her ear and regained its former glory. With a delighted light shining in her beautiful eyes, she said, “What good things did you get on this trip? Quickly take them out and let me have a look.”

“Wait a moment！” Yang Kai nodded and began to search in his own spatial ring. He had indeed obtained quite a number of good things on this trip. He called Yang Yan here just to let her take a look. There were some things that Yang Kai didn’t know what they were or what they were used for.

Soon, Yang Kai waved his hand, and a fiery red crystal the size of a millstone, Youdaoplaceholder0 fire spiritual energy and being completely appeared in the front of the two of them.

“This is…” Yang Yan’s two eyeballs immediately shone with a different kind of light, and her expression was immediately attracted by that fiery red crystal.

“It should be a fire crystal！” Yang Kai touched his chin. “But I don’t understand why it is so big, and the experience of how I got it is also very strange. It wasn’t obtained from the body of a fire spirit beast…”

Immediately, Yang Kai briefly recounted his experience in that strange valley, and this huge fire crystal was also his first harvest upon entering the Flowing Flame Sand Land.

When Yang Kai was telling these things, Yang Yan had been staring at that fire crystal non-stop, and one of her hands was still gently stroking it.

After Yang Kai finished speaking, Yang Yan nodded and said, “It should be a fire crystal alright. However, this fire crystal has a self-contained array inside, so it can stimulate the fire spirit energy and form various fire spirit beasts to obstruct your progress.”

“A self-contained array inside？” Yang Kai’s expression moved. He actually didn’t notice this point.

“Yes, it’s innate, a very profound array.” Yang Yan pursed her lips and smiled. “This thing has some uses, but if it is used for refining weapons, it would be a bit of a waste. Give it to me. It can just be used to arrange an array. That array requires such a thing as the array eye.”

“Alright.” Yang Kai nodded, not being stingy. With a straightforward wave of his big hand, he sent it out. Anyway, Yang Yan’s arrangement of the formation was also to protect Dragon Cave Mountain, and he could also benefit from it.

“What else?” Yang Yan put away the huge Fire Crystal Stone into the Space Ring, and her beautiful eyes stared at Yang Kai without blinking, as if she was very expecting.

“This！” Yang Kai reached out and took out a blood-red thing. That thing looked a bit like a grass seed, but it exuded a strange bloody aura.

“The seed of Bloodsword Grass！” As soon as Yang Yan saw this thing, her face suddenly changed, and she let out a cry of surprise.

She actually recognized this seed in the first moment.

“Bloodsword Grass… it’s rather lives up to its name.” Yang Kai nodded thoughtfully Youdaoplaceholder0 the things he had experienced after falling into that strange. At that time, when breaking the confinement of that formation and walking out through a passage there were many red weeds on both sides, growing frantically as if they were alive, turning into attacks and rushing towards him.

And those blood-red weeds were indeed extremely hard and sharp. Even with Yang Kai’s tough physical body he didn’t dare to let them cut randomly.

“There is actually such a thing in the Flowing Flame Sand Ground.” Yang Yan’s face was a little pale.

“Is this thing very famous？” Yang Kai saw her appearance as if facing a formidable enemy and couldn’t help but feel a little strange.

“I don’t know if it’s famous or not, but I know its terrifying aspect. It can grow infinitely. As long as there is enough flesh and blood for it to suck, its power will continuously increase. When it grows to the extreme, even the body of a Void King Realm cultivator can’t withstand its cutting.”

“So terrifying?” Yang Kai was shocked and felt a moment of fear and relief.

If what Yang Yan said is true, then the Blood Sword Grass that he encountered should not have grown up, otherwise it wouldn’t have been unable to do anything to him.

“This thing had a fearsome reputation in ancient times. Many major sects and forbidden areas would plant some of it for protection.” Yang Yan gently pinched that blood-red seed, with a cautious expression.

“What a pity, there is only one seed. If there were more…” Instead of feeling afraid, Yang Kai felt regretful.

“Pity？” Yang Yan sneered. “There is nothing to pity. One seed is enough. The Blood Sword Grass can reproduce and grow on its own. As long as there is one seed and enough flesh and blood are given to it, it can multiply into a patch.”

Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

“What do you want to do？” Yang Yan seemed to sense the dangerous aura flashing in Yang Kai’s eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked.

“Nothing.” Yang Kai chuckled and took the seed of the Blood Sword Grass back from Yang Yan’s hand and carefully put it away himself.

“Let me tell you first. If you want to plant it, you have to tell me in advance. But don’t worry too much. As long as you don’t provide it with flesh and blood, it won’t grow and there’s no great harm.”

“En, I understand.” Yang Kai nodded and took out two more things from the Space Ring.
